Whatever you choose to make music with...take time to learn it and master it. Main thing is having fun.

Bro, When you said Studio one, I was like "YES" You've got to upgrade. Your gonna see things that will put it over the top! 👀🙏🏾💯💯

I love using logic and the most recent updates in the last few years have taken it to another level.

I've officially made ableton my main DAW. I was on FL since the beginning but when I switched to from PC to make I left FL behind and went full on with Ableton and I LOVE it.

Agreed, Hardware based production is whats up. I started on the Mpc 60II and till this day i luv the 3000

Yes brother! (Studio One) all the way, nice and quick and simple to use yet very powerful. Think that more people should try it out.

Another one that I have is LMMS. I like the vsts, and the theatrical sounds that I can compose. It's a beautiful daw.

Me personally i use FL Studio. Fl 11 10 and 20. I just feel like its got that look that just catches my eyes everytime. It has never changed. I seen other daws too but fl just has that sleek look like every time i see the time bar going and the meter and waves going i get chills when making a insane melody😂

I’m new to recording so I went from GarageBand to Logic Pro X 1 year ago. And I Like how easy it is to learn , I’m a Country Singer and Songwriter And a couple of my Co-writers keep telling me to try Presonus Sphere subscription for 19.99 Canadian. So last week I went for it. Great DAW ! Getting Hooked Fast ! Easy ,Easy.! I Play Acoustic Guitar and Drums .also and I say Yes to your Upgrading to Studio One Professional !!!

I’m rocking with you, we think alike, I started on Reason 3 or 4 after having hardware, tried a few other daws but stayed on Reason for the most part. I’m gonna study studio one, and oh yeah I subscribed

Hell Yeah💪🏻!! First two choices is exactly the way to go!! My first DAW was The Music Generator for the PS1! Sampling time was about 10 to 15 seconds and had limited drum sounds. From there I upgraded to Acid Pro and Sound Forge. Then I tried FL but really didn’t like it and never looked back. My older brother bought an MPC2000XL in 2003 and fell in love with that machine. I ended up copping a MPC1000 and then a 2500. Life transitioned and now I am rocking with Beatmaker3! I like BM3 because for me, it works just like an MPC and always wanted a DAW similar to a drum machine, all in one! 🔥💪🏻🔥

Always informative, positive and current. Remember, let the haters energize you. 44.2k subscribers speaks for itself. keep up the good work.

20 years Logic pro user here! And still enjoying it until today!

Studio One and UA Luna are my fave apps. the SOUND and features of both are on point. Yeah you need hardware to run Luna but it's the best sounding out of all of them, period (the engineers take the quality further than any others).

I popped off when you said Studio One. I love it, but what really made me switch was the fact that I can merge my production, mixing and mastering workflows into one place. On top of that I can use maschine integrated into it S1 or just export my maschine beats into S1. I came from FL

Good list I completely agree!

I went from Reason to Logic 7 and used Logic Until Logic X, (I still use Logic sometimes) then Maschine Mikro, Maschine Studio, Then Push and Ableton, And Ableton now is my number one. But I also just bought a Maschine MK3. Oh and I use Pro Tools for vocals

I went from Reason to Ableton Live and never looked back. In combination with the amazing Push 2 controller, it's really the best a hybrid workflow can offer. Besides that, Ableton Live integrates extremely well with MPC (use MPC as a vst plugin or a Live controller or export projects into Ableton format). Which makes it ideal for finishing and mastering projects you started in MPC.

Yeah...I call it Fruity Loops too. lol

I started with The MPC 1000 + ProTools Maschine Studio One 5 You can drag and drop anything into studio one presets, effect chains etc... Studio One has what they call a splitter for parallel compression so there’s no need to add another track. Love that feature. Clip Gain Envelopes is the best! Theres basically no need to edit and have a bunch of clips on an audio track. (KZfaq it) I use there XT Drum machine and patterns exclusively. I might in the future purchase the maschine mikro. Nothing beats hardware. S1 is a awesome DAW if your new or wanting to switch from your previous DAW.

I was raised on the MPC2000 and the xl, I had the renaissance and it cool but when I put my hands on the Maschine studio can’t front shit is nice and yes I use it like the mpc with hardware

My weapon of choice is Abeltonlive, my first DAW was Cubase 5.1 and then moved to SX, whilst using FL Studio for sketching Ideas but arranging, mixing and mastering in Cubase, I then moved onto FL Studio fall time, and started using Abelton along side it, I have Logic and Reason too but am not familier with them yet.

Thanks for your videos they help alot

Great list... I agree 100%

I have been learning Maschine for about two years and have seen myself grow using it. It is my starter. But i have been trying studio one because in maschine my cpu usage goes sky high. Presonus is very difficult coming from Maschine but im determine to learn it and broaden my skills. Keep on doing what u doing man i like your videos.

Mpc live, maschine mk3, reason 11, studio one 4 pro, fl studio 20 , roland fantom X6 and mpc 2500

Nice! I use Ableton Live 10, Reason 11, Maschine...Most of the time I use Live as the master and open the other 2 up inside Live depending on what Im working on. Great video keep it up!

I’m into beat making as a hobby. For hardware I recently started using Native Instruments MK3. I still use Reason 10 every now and then. I tried beat maker but it just didn’t jive with me.. After this video I will give it another try. My iPod may have been the problem.

Your list is undeniable! I use Reason as my main DAW and I've been using it for 15 years. I use it with the Akai MPC Touch, MPD226 and the Nektar Panorama P6. I can do anything I set out to do

when i went to producer school i learned to use pro tools there, then i started to produce more edm than record songs. i used fl like for a year, it's cool and all but didn't meet my workflow as me comming from pro tools background. then i tried ableton, its cool too, tried logic, then i found studio one. and wow... it has all the features i had been looking for. it's like pro tools, fl, ableton ,cubase, logic all in one. studio one. get that?? 🤣 s1 also had features that none other daws had and it's still upgrading so more cool stuff will be comming.

I agree 100% with the MPC stand alone units.. as far as DAW. it's too each his/her own 🎶🎵

I use my MPC slim and my Arturia Mini Lab midi keyboard with MPC Studio for beat making. Then I usually track out to Pro Tools or Studio One for mixing. I like Studio One because I got a Faderport 8 that controls everything. The faders are great for mixing. I'm familiar with FL Studio the older versions. I used to use it when I first got into making beats.

Studio One is the best thing, next to Cubase. It isn't perfect, but when it comes to the mixture of features to accommodate the various aspects/fields of music production and editing, Studio One (if not using Cubase) is the most versatile there is, especially for those who are serious about Music Theory. Chord Track, trim knobs, splitter, etc.

I sold my Kong Kronos, but I’m old school like Bolo, using hardware puts you in a ‘corner’ where you have to be creative, without the magic powers of a DAW!

I enjoy working with logic its super dope and once i learned that logic coverts all of your 32 bit files to 24 so they can be preview it was heaven. I like working in the MPC software also

I use Logic but my son uses it way more than me. MOTU’s Digital Performer is my main weapon of choice. Been on it since the 90’s. Hardware is definitely where I start though; MPCX, Roland MV8800, Push 2, Maschine Studio, Akai Force...you get the idea. I use them all to get started, then record my music into DP to mix and master. Cubase is way to difficult to even get started in my opinion.

On the PC: Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reason, Reaper, Cubase. On the iPad: BM3, Korg Gadget, BeatHawk, MPC Pro 2, iMaschine, Cubasis, NanoStudio 2, and other apps.

FL and maschine mikro mk3. Maschine is dope! Learning to use maschine. I used to use Logic. Logic is cool but I went back to FL. I've used FL when it was called Fruity Loops back in the day.

Studio One 5 Sphere and Ableton live Simultaneously because of ARA. So Dope! Upgrade Doc. Now ST1 should be 1st on the list🏋🏋🏋🏋

My number 1 beat maker3 thanks to you for putting me on. My number 2. Hardware and my number 3 logic. FL studio I can’t do it. In my opinion FL studio is for non musicians. Who don’t mind programming Patterns together. I’m a keyboard player at heart so it’s hard to transition over to FL. But I do agree it’s a beast when it comes down to sounds and what you can do with it if you have the patients to program

FL Studio is definitely not linear, but there's kinda a way around that. You can turn any track into an instrument track, so it'll link to the pattern clip and mixer track simultaneously.

Ableton Gang!!!

I use "Fruity Loops" for ages! :D

Studio One and Cubase are the DAWs I mainly use (I use Studio One a lil more tho), I started with Reason 6 and used that as my main DAW for a while but now since the recent upgrades in reason, I just mainly use it as a plug-in in studio one or cubase, I tried FL Studio and it just wasn't for me, I was able to luck up and get Ableton suite a few years back but I just haven't gotten around to really giving it a try, I will one of these days but idk, because I like the workflows of linear DAWs like Cubase and Studio One

Studio One 5 pro which i love for easyness and full features. ARTURIA KeyStep 37 keyboard for its coll touch and additional functions as arpegiator, strum etc A small Korg NanoKontrol 2 mainly for the transport and navigation buttons. An ALESIS SamplePad Pro with 2 additional cymbals, a hiHat and a Kick pedal to simply play some drums with fun. And some cool VST instruments from Amplesound (guitars), Arturia (Analog Lab 5 has many cool sounds) etc, and VST for chords (instachord, chordz). Sorry that BeatMaker 3 is not proposed for Androïd users. Thank you for you cool videos. Motivates me for beat making.

Im gonna go PreSonus when I get back in the strudio. I started with hardware back in the day. Ensoniq SD-1 to either 2" (the warmest of warm) or 1/4 ". All theory. So want that MPC One.........have to bow-down....SAMPLING IS KING!

cubase from old style groovin , quick grooves

Great channel. Good vibes and good info. Thank you. I haven’t used BeatMaker since I was in Japan in ‘15-‘16, and that was BM2. All I had was an ipad over there. I went to a late night coffee place, stuck buds in, and created music into the night. Wrote 4 songs with BM over there. Stopped using my ipad when I returned. So, I just looked at BM3, and, wow, it looks awesome. It was a good app in ‘15, and the new version looks, well, dope. i’m gonna have to check it out. BM has been good to me. Logic. Yes. It is a Deep program. The bang for the buck is ridiculous. the sound library is A-1. I’m learning more things about it, that improve the work flow, every week. Also, the Artuia V collection. I could do without the clav, the Prophet 5, the MiniMoog, wurlitzer piano, & more. I love using the legacy instruments w/o the hassle of the 40 year old electronics in ‘em. And lastly, my main writing tool right now is the RC-505. It gets me away from being in front of screen - as you said, Hardware. As I say, Buttons, Knobs and Sliders.

FL studio 1st cause I grew with it. Been using It since v3... 2nd-beatmaker fire mobile daw. I been playing around with mpc and machine daws. Fl has got some banging updates for work flow. Peace. (I play guitar n Bass also... getting digi drums soon)

DopeX... i have full version of Studio One so dnt know whats missing frm your version but doing everything in Studio One is a BEAST ... it replaced protools for me... only reason i left Logic cause i hated the sampler but now the new sampler is bomb ... i came up on hardware but ima buy my first MPC thinkn of going with the Live2 ... to pair with Studio One

Nice one. I can’t get into making anything in software (I’ve tried) so I just use an MPC 1000 jjosxl and SP-404. Does everything I could want it to do.

Not sure I could produce back on hardware again. I sure did back in the day, on my trusty Kurzweil K2000. I'm a Logic boy now (after going through Performer, Pro Tools and Reason), and I get what you mean about the "linear" fashion.

At 6:55- 7:05 yeah it is weird indeed another great way to work with FLstudio is to rewire Reason to it run the drums from there then add melody accompaniments from FLstudio these DAW are powerful when combined together is worth considering having enough ram and processor power too.

Logic was the number one. I think since the update. It’s gonna be number one. I’ve never owned an MPC. I would love one of the older ones. BM3 is my favorite on the IPad! Koala is extremely fun but I need AUM to make it more complete for me. I want an MPC just to see the hype. I love the swing on MPC and the bit rate on the older ones are unbelievable!

I'm loving Studio one 5 ..I record vocals and mix and master so it's a one stop shop for me I also use mpc's..love them for the drums..plus I got a lot of hardware.. I got FL which I rarely use..and just bought a copy of protools I need to install mainly cause I'm gona start mixing more via the internet and a lot of people use protools to record in so it was a no brainer..I do want to get ableton though 🤔🤔

I started out on the MP, great for sampling. Now I use Logic and FL. Both of those DAWs imo, have the best value.

Dope info thanks

I've used pro tools for about 10 yrs , thought about switching my game a lil bit so I bought the studio one pro ain't gon lie studio one is 🔥..

12 Milli, HIVE-FIVE BOLO !!!! 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 Praying you keep it going bruh, blessing!

Love Logic!

Yesssss mpc love 👏👏

Tried out Logic, Ableton, FL and Reason. Might give those another try and play with some other DAWs in the future but Studio One is home for me 💯

Been using Studio one it's on point, If I'm not mistaken you can use FL within studio 1 as a 3rd plug in, that's fire.

I use fl studio as my sound module with the mpc one and studio one 5

Ableton and Studio One 5!!! Try the Presonus subscription for a couple of months!

I love your Shirts

Great content here @bolodaproducer. Bro... you use the same exact D.A.W's I use for production, mixing etc....I would recommend upgrading to Professional for mastering purposes in which you don't have to send your files to any mastering professional. Maybe one day we can collab on the use of the mastering side of the Professional version! Keep the content coming!!!

Just got me the Maschine and its really overwhelming at the beginning. All the different ways to start making beats. On the maschine, in the DAW, on step mode, in arranger mode etc. Yet to find the way that gives me the fast groove.

Beatmaker3 and Nanostudio for writing. Universal Audio’s Luna for mixing.

MPC beats and Cubase

Respect, I feel you on not needing to buy the professional version for presonus because you have other full versions, but I must say, to fully enjoy studio one I would recommend upgrading, I just got the professional version about 6months ago and haven't been disappointed yet

I love mixing and arranging in Studio One 5 but i use Ableton to create. I wana get hardware so bad i love the thought of learning a MPC and Keyboard Workstation. But i want to get good or great 1st with what i have. Im only 4 years in and i started late but im determined to make a name for myself.

Dope channel. Subbed

Bro. I’ve been DJing since 1979 my cousin is getting me into Producing I just bought the Steinberg 242 waiting on three more pieces I excited to see where this goes.

BOLO BEATS GO LOKO MY GAWWWWDDD

FL is my go too...I guess because when I first got back into music, it popped up and I went with it...I started learning it with the free trial version. After trying a few others, the free updates hooked me bruh..lol..I purchased it and been rolling every since. I have to be honest, I have Reasons ( I've cooked up a few beats on there), but Studio has my attention...but just like yourself, I haven't upgraded...lol...I'm thinking about it...but, like Pookie, them free updates in FL Studio "Keep callin' me man"...LOL

I started out with Reason... I don't know why but I switched to Ableton LIVE... my REASON songs were winning beat battles and everything... I switched because somehow I felt confined. It was the same cookie cutter process over and over. I still learn stuff about LIVE... in other words it stays interesting. BUT! I have developed a cookie-cutter template for LIVE too... when I just want to kill time.

Likewise with my MPC X My favorite to create music on next it’s Pro Tools

I started with ACID way back, than Reasons that I loved for many years until I got introduced to FL studios than the game changer the day I purchased Logic Pro

I use BM3 because of you 💯💪🏽🙏🏽

I started out with fl studio and I still love it but I switched to iPad as a main production tool and I use beat maker 3.

Finally got an Ipad that can run Beatmaker3 so I'll let you know how it goes. Nice vid. Keep Bangin' the Hits.

👍🏻 that‘s the reason why I subscribed: you did the „Spaced out“-review using Logic. And my wish is to get tutorials for Logic to „bring me to the next level“.

You've got a great list. Right now I'm rocking with the MPC Retro, the MV 8800, & Maschine Studio. I have FL Stu for my DAW & came up in the Fruity Loop era, lol. I also had Acid Pro. You use what you're comfortable with. I love using hardware too first & foremost. I also like doing everything in the box. I'm waiting for Akai to drop that Arranger mode on the rest of the MPC's. I think that's gonna be a game changer!! I definitely would do everything in one box then for sure!! Great video!!👊🏾💯

In just starting out I'm using ableton live 11 standard was using the intro butci grew that out in messing around Fl studio and studio one at the moment bot sure wich one is my go to but I'm o ableton more I learn it better and I use FL on my tablet but not too a fan thinking of going to BEAT MAKER LIKE YOU BOLO

I could never "rate" tour list. It's whatever works for you. I LOVE to see you on a Maschine for a few months to see how you'd feel on it and about it. I was just telling a coworker how Maschine's search capabilities are unmatched. For instance, I I'm looking for a bass, if I don't pick a particular plugin, it'll by default give me every bass from every plugin! And the same goes for samples and sample libraries.

I use Sony acid music studio, and Magix music studio 2014.

More Studio One tutorials please! Go ahead and treat yoself to that upgrade

I use FL and a bit of Ableton but if I had a mac I would try Logic

As an older guy myself , I like hard ware pro tools is my least favorite presonus 5 is my favorite daw but still live my triton extreme

Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏

Hey brother, you should keep your MPC, the keyboard hardware and completely switch to Studio One 5. This will be the best decision you ever made. The new amount of new artists you are going to build will be massive!!!! Blessings, never stop!!!

Ableton Live 💪🏾...by far my favorite daw. I got the MPK 61 and a ton of plugins, although I probably only use around seven or eight of them. Also, I only use pc. I used Mac initially when I went from Mackie boards and ADATs to using Pro Tools and Reason 3. Could just be me, but I'm more comfortable on PC. #WestBaltimore

studio one artist is what im working on. that sounds like a good list you put together. the most lease for me would be fruity loops

Dude I concur wit all your choices to the current coming from an early start using an Emu SP12 and Ensoniq EPS. #presonus#studioone#devilinabox

Music studio is also a good iOS software. I use FL studio though.

Recently discovered Studio One and together with the Atom and Atom SQ this DAW is killer! I might even sell my most favorite hardware Sampler for it. The MPC X. And replace it with an MPC One+. Because I haven’t used the X in months and I am unsure if it will become my center piece again soon. And if you can you really should take a look at Studio One Sphere.

Presonus actually has the mpc and ensoniq grooves on their sphere to download and install. Then you will see them in you quantise settings

Bolo I started on Cubase to Kenetic, then Protools , Logic, Fruity Loops now Reaper. I haven't used Presonus since I had a malfunctioning interface with them. I like Reaper the most, I can easily customize it to look and feel like any daw! When it comes to recording it's almost flawless, and is easy on cpu usage! I would rank just top three for me 3.) Cubase 2.) FL studio 1.) Reaper I really liked Logic but it was CPU Heavy lol! I think Reaper is easier and has a great mid and high sound clarity but I make beats faster in Fl Studio aka FRUITY LOOPS LOL Your videos hit bro!

BDP...new to writing/producing. I have old gear (Roland R8 and cards), looking at a Korg EX M1r soon...have the Korg Krome EX to get down with...looking forward to following you to get some tips. Also a musician...sax, harp, bass...so I'll be throwing analog in with digital.
